In addition to a great swelling ability, layered silicates also allow the functionalization of their interlayer region to form various robust green materials that are used as CO2 adsorbents, drug carriers, or catalysts. Here, the unique magadiite structure, which has resisted elucidation despite many attempts and applications the material offers, is finally described. A material-specific strategy allowed the use of 3D electron diffraction which led to the success of deciphering the atomic structure.
